Update: Bluffton builder looks to make a big difference to flood victims with tiny homes

A Bluffton construction company is hoping that thinking small will make a big difference in the lives of South Carolina families devastated by recent flooding.

Brighton Builders is breaking ground Thursday afternoon on a project to build a series of tiny homes, which will be donated to families in need.

"It's time to start putting roofs over people's heads," company president Ben Kennedy said earlier this week. "We know there are going to be people who can't salvage their house, and they are going to have to start over."

The homes will be about 260 square feet and will include all essentials of a typical house, Kennedy said.
